I tried to go to the AOPA Flight Planning web page today, and found that
the
only option remaining is to download a Microsoft-only application. This
seems annoying.


If you are using Linux or Solaris, have you tried running the
application with 'wine' (www.winehq.com)?

I've tried several Windows native applications on Linux and
had no problems, although I've not yet tried the flight planner.

('wine' is a free Windows API emulator that runs on a variety
of other OS)
